A Decade of Protecting the Past, Building Social Value

Projexel Heritage Pvt. Ltd. is a heritage conservation agency based in Ranchi, Jharkhand. For more than ten years we have restored and conserved historic structures — from the Old Birsa Munda Jail in Ranchi to the terracotta temple groups of Maluti, Dumka.

Our team combines professional conservation architecture, expert restoration guidance and an experienced on-site workforce, integrating social value with every monument we bring back to life.

Each one taken on as a structure that still has to stand for the next century.

How We Work

Five Stages of Temple Conservation

Every project follows a disciplined, documented sequence — nothing is altered before it is understood.

Assess

Condition survey, structural assessment and identification of decay, damage and past interventions.

Document

Measured drawings, photographic records and material studies forming the scientific baseline.

Stabilize

Emergency propping, water-ingress control and structural strengthening to arrest deterioration.

Restore

Careful restoration using traditional materials and artisan techniques matched to the original fabric.

Maintain

Maintenance manual and periodic-care guidance handed over to the temple's caretakers.

Before & After

Drag to See the Difference

The Old Birsa Munda Jail, Ranchi — the historic jail complex where the freedom fighter was once held, conserved and reopened as a museum of memory.

Method

Every Piece Numbered Before It Moves

Before a single brick is lifted, each terracotta element on a failing elevation is marked in sequence and recorded against a measured drawing. The numbering is the memory of the building.

It is the only way a dismantled façade can go back in the order the original craftsmen laid it — and it is what separates restoration from reconstruction.

Nothing is replaced that can be re-set.

Materials

Traditional Materials We Work With

Matched to the original fabric of the building — never hard modern substitutes on historic structures.

Lime Mortar & Plaster

Breathable lime-based mortars and plasters prepared with traditional additives — never hard cement on historic fabric.

Stone

Matching sandstone, granite and laterite sourced and dressed by skilled stone masons.

Terracotta

Hand-moulded terracotta panels and bricks — the signature craft of Maluti's temple facades.

Timber & Metal

Seasoned timber and traditional metalwork restored or replicated where original elements are lost.

Project Background

A Practice Built on a Hundred-Year Inheritance

Jharkhand and Bihar hold temples, forts, jails and residences raised across four centuries — brick and terracotta, laterite and lime, much of it left to root growth and monsoon.

Projexel Heritage works on those structures with professional conservation architecture, expert restoration guidance and an experienced on-site workforce, integrating social value with every monument it brings back.

Temples, forts, monuments, heritage buildings, sculptures and museums — six conservation verticals, one standard of care.
